Far-right politics are
right-wing politics to the right of the mainstream
centre right on the traditional
left-right spectrum. They often involve a focus on tradition as opposed to policies and customs that are regarded as reflective of
modernism. They often have a disregard or disdain for
egalitarianism, if not overt support for
social inequality and
social hierarchy, elements of
social conservatism and opposition to most forms of
liberalism and
socialism. The terms are commonly used to describe
Nazism,
neo-Nazism,
Fascism,
neo-Fascism and other ideologies or organizations that feature extreme
nationalist,
chauvinist,
xenophobic,
racist, or
reactionary views. Some far-right movements, such as the
Nazis, have pursued oppression and
genocide against groups of people on the basis of their alleged inferiority or their alleged threat to the nation or state.
